మూస:POV section/doc

This is a documentation subpage for మూస:POV section.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original మూస page.

Template usage notes

Use this template when you have identified a serious issue regarding WP:Neutral point of view.

Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag should discuss concerns on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies. In the absence of such a discussion, or if it remains unclear what the NPOV violation is, this tag may be removed by any editor.
The purpose of this group of templates is to attract editors with different viewpoints to edit articles that need additional insight. This template should not be used as a badge of shame. Do not use this template to "warn" readers about the article.
This template should only be applied to articles that are reasonably believed to lack a neutral point of view. The neutral point of view is determined by the prevalence of a perspective in high-quality, independent, reliable secondary sources, not by its prevalence among Wikipedia editors or the general public.

When to use

Do not use this template unless there is an ongoing dispute.

Place this template in a section of an article when you have identified a serious issue of balance and the lack of a WP:Neutral point of view, and you wish to attract editors with different viewpoints to the article. Please also explain on the article's talk page why you are adding this tag, identifying specific issues that are actionable within Wikipedia's content policies.

An unbalanced or non-neutral section is one that does not fairly represent the balance of perspectives of high-quality, independent, reliable secondary sources. A balanced article presents mainstream views as being mainstream, and minority views as being minority views. The personal views of Wikipedia editors or the public are irrelevant.

When to remove

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved.
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given.
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

How to use

Place {{POV section|date=నవంబరు 2024}} at the top of the disputed section, and then explain your reasons on the article's talk page. If the date is not included it will probably be added later by a WP:BOT. To specify the section of the talk page discussion, use {{POV section|talk=talk page section name}}.

This template will categorize tagged articles in Category:Wikipedia neutral point of view disputes or a dated subcategory thereof.

This template should only be used in the main (article) namespace. Do not place this template on talk pages, user pages, policies and guidelines, or other pages.

This template is a self-reference.
Please do not subst: this template.
